Grá Calligraphy gets a mention in the Irish Examiner

When I was asked to contribute to an article about “unusual hobbies” by the wonderful Gwen Loughman, I got quite excited… And a few thoughts came to mind:

  1. “Yes! I’ll get to nerd out and describe to everyone precisely why I love calligraphy.”

  2. “Ooh, is calligraphy considered ‘unusual’? I suppose it is rare —but, I’m in such a bubble of following calligraphers for years on Instagram, I must have had a skewed view of it.”

  3. “Oh, fab — more people across Ireland will hear about my workshops! I can’t wait to meet more Irish calligraphers.”

The article has since been published and it’s a wonderful read. Go check out all the amazing hobbies that are out there!

I’m so grateful to Gwen for including me.

Mudlarking, soap crafts, calligraphy — some of Ireland's most unusual hobbies - The Irish Examiner article Grá Calligraphy was featured in on 1st December, 2025.
